In one dream last night, I was watching a movie about a conspiracy theory involving the assassination of President Kennedy. A man was closely examining a sound recording and determined that police officers had responded to a report of two shotgun blasts, but when they went to investigate (at night), it turned out that one person at an apartment complex had overheard the sound of the blasts from a neighbor's upstairs TV set that was playing an episode of Laverne & Shirley. Curious as to when the show was on the air (I remember seeing it as a child, whereas the 1963 assassination was before I was born), I then drove around during the nighttime looking for a place to park my car and look up the show on wikipedia with my computer; when I did find a parking spot it was next to an apartment that had a sign in Japanese which I took to mean one shouldn't leave a car engine running lest one disturb the neighborhood. However, I did leave my car engine running as I went to turn on the radio and provide some light from the dial, but the car's engine began to rev very fast and I heard a noise like an explosion from under the hood. Yet the car continued to work so I went to a copy shop, and I was surprised that it was not only open after midnight but had several patrons working at their laptops. Eventually I did get around to looking up the wikipedia article I was looking for but the dream version of the article was incorrect, saying the show ran for 3 years from 1983 to 1985 with just 22 episodes (whereas the real article says the show ran from 1976 to 1983 with 178 episodes).

Perhaps related (since I had earlier seen a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode that described a scene as "Laverne-and-Shirley-esque"), another scene involved an interview with producers and characters from MST3K, apparently inside a small cargo plane with benches along the sides as seats. The producers explained that the original host character Joel Robinson, as the person manning the Satellite of Love spacecraft, was privy to top-secret government information beamed up from the Earth which even his captor and tormenter Dr. Forrester was not aware of. When I asked Dr. Forrester (sitting next to me, in-character) he related that he was not aware of Joel's secret knowledge, while Joel (also in character) just sort of shrugged; but it made sense to me that Joel might have advanced knowledge since he did built fairly sophisticated robots just using parts he found in the spacecraft.

In another dream, I was watching a feature movie in which one female character was obliged to operate on another female character while they were both on a yacht, with directions from a surgeon on shore. Apparently the one lady removed a premature fetus from the other lady, which was said to be 7 months gestated but capable of walking around on his own in a later scene (although he was rather small and obviously made of soft plastic).
